Question

A middle-school band holds a car wash to raise money. The sixth-grade band members wash 16 cars. The seventh-grade band members wash 75% as many cars as the sixth-graders. The eighth-grade band members wash half as many cars as the sixth- and seventh-grade band members combined. If the band charges $5 per car, how much money did the members raise altogether?

Answer 1

210 because 7th graders washed 12 cars, 8th graders washed 14 cars, 6th graders washed 16 cars. Added all together and multiplied by 5, it equals 210
